    Very nonsensical statement, as it helps a lot since decades and allows faster traffic flow in roundabouts.

    Not easy to give a concise answer here, but let me try: The problem mainly occurs in networks with recurrent connections or very deep architectures. In recurrent architectures this…

    I'm in the industry and nobody does that since over ten years. There was just a small phase when Hinton published "Greedy layer-wise training of deep networks" in 2007 and people d…

    There is no LLM in Tesla cars. Otherwise correct. I'd rather expect they use a convnet or a vision transformer, probably the former.

    Adding noise is generally helpful for regularization in ML. Most modern deep learning approaches do this in one way or the other - mostly dropout. It improves generalization capabi…

    How would you get the money you possess and want to launder on the stolen credit card? That more sounds like a method to extract money from stolen credit cards, but not a valid way…

    Functions are by definition not random. Randomness would break: "In mathematics, a function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y"

    Yep, playing too much Quake online I hit a record 500 EUR phone bill once (1000 deutsche Mark back then). My parents weren't amused. :D
